He enlisted in the Navy and served our country with honor. After being discharged he would make Southwest Michigan his home. Clarence was a hard and dedicated worker. He began his career at National Water Lift in Kalamazoo, and later retired as head of the Research and Development from Armstrong International of Three Rivers. When not working he enjoyed spending time outdoors, riding his bicycle, and going out to breakfast with family.
